Galatasaray continues to make headlines in this transfer window. After weeks of negotiations, the Istanbul club has officially completed the permanent signing of Victor Osimhen, who will remain the leader of the Turkish champions’ attack after a brilliant season on loan. The Nigerian forward is set to sign a four-year deal, including substantial earnings from sponsorship and image rights.

The agreement with Napoli includes a clause that prevents Galatasaray from selling the player to Italian clubs for the next two seasons, protecting him from Serie A giants. The total fee, surpassing €75 million, makes this the most expensive transfer in Turkish football history.

Osimhen’s decision to turn down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabian clubs and instead commit to coach Okan Buruk’s project demonstrates the growing appeal of a team that not only dominates the domestic league but is also preparing to compete in the next Champions League campaign.

Galatasaray Wants More: Ederson Now in Their Sights

With the Osimhen deal wrapped up, Galatasaray is now focusing on strengthening other key positions. Their next major target is between the posts, with the club reportedly reaching a preliminary agreement with Ederson, the Brazilian goalkeeper from Manchester City. Talks with Pep Guardiola’s side are ongoing, and all signs point to a deal potentially being completed before the window closes.

The interest in Ederson confirms that the club isn't content with domestic dominance alone, but aims to elevate its competitive level on the European stage. Alongside the confirmed signings of players like Leroy Sané, Jakobs, and Frankowski, the team’s ambition is clear.

While their eternal rivals, Fenerbahçe, now led by José Mourinho, attempt to respond with high-profile signings of their own, Galatasaray is setting the pace in Turkish football with an elite squad and a project that excites its fans.

With a fearsome attacking line, a solid midfield core, and potential reinforcements in defense and goalkeeping, the Lions of Istanbul are ready to roar in Europe and defend their throne at home.
